I am Fir, Otter, Pine, Byakushin and a bunch of other people on an online game called Ancient Anguish. I run a blog-style AA newspaper called the Gemynd Post as well as in-game newspapers. Since FFnet has a category for AA fanfiction, I thought I'd post the few stories that have accumulated on me over time in here. :)

We also have incredible player- and wizard-written stories inside the game, in the many libraries of Ancient Anguish. There's even a book that's (remotely) about me that I found again a while ago...

I got permission from Bleys to post his Duel in the Desert here after I failed to talk him into setting up an account of his own - the story won the Ancient Anguish anniversary story contest, and reads very nicely as general Dungeons-and-Dragons genre fantasy even if you are not familiar with the world of Ancient Anguish. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

Nattick, a human rogue, is sent to the bustling desert city of Drakhiya to assassinate an elven ambassador before a dangerous alliance is finalized. Meanwhile, Mara is hot on his trail to eliminate him first... Intense "cunning orcs vs. elves" faction battle and intrigue, does not require prior game knowledge to enjoy!

Madame Pine's Mysteries: A lost and found marriage. This story is a humble tribute to the latest breed of Sherlock Holmes, placed in the Ancient Anguish fantasy world. No actual Sherlock characters are featured.
